What is this blog about?

This is just a small preview into my love for photography where I will try to get into detail as to how I captured the moment, why I captured it, how I edited them and many more things.

So, this is basically a heart-to-heart about whatever I feel like writing, and also about what you want to hear. Sometimes when I post a picture on Instagram I wish that you would know the story behind the picture, and I try to describe it somehow, but it's not always possible on a social media platform like Instagram.

About me

A normal CA student with a passion for photography. I started getting into photography in 2014 when my parents bought me a Nikon Coolpix point and shoot camera. I started taking pictures of things like butterflies, spiders and all normal, everyday objects that you see around.

So, inevitably, I started posting my pictures on Facebook and Instagram. I got a good initial reaction from friends which pushed me to learn more about photography in general. I have definitely come a long way, but I have an even longer path ahead of me.

Light Painting Technique

(Vidhana Soudha. Mi A3) This post is more of a guide type of post. So, I'll try not to make it boring. I'm going to talk about a mode called Light Painting, which you might or might not have heard of, but you would have come across the pictures at least once. I'm doing this post because some people told me that it's not possible to take pictures like that after I posted a couple of these on Instagram. It's totally possible, and anyone can do it. It's simple by the core. The name says it all. You paint with the lights. So, how do you paint with light? A: You keep the shutter open for a longer time. What's shutter, and how do you keep it open? A: Shutter is the door to the image sensor where the image gets recorded. The sensor is our eye, and the shutter is the eyelid. The longer the shutter stays open the more light gets captured. These are just basics, there is also aperture that needs to be taken into consideration. What is aperture, you ask? A: It, to...

Uttarakhand - II

The second and third days. It was just traveling that day. We had to climb to Tungnath peak the next day. So, we had to go and spend the night in a city closer to the mountain. There are camps and tents in places very close to the mountain but they are very pricey. And moreover, the demand was huge due to the holidays. So, we stayed in a lodge in Ukhimath. From Rishikesh, it took us almost 9 hours. And I got some good pics on the way. (River Mandakini. Canon 1500D. f/10. 1/400 s) (Somewhere near Rudraprayag. Canon 1500D. f/10. 1/400th s) (We also got to witness a nice sunset in Ukhimath. Canon 1500D. f/8. 1.3 s) That night in the hotel we met a person with whom we had a nice, long conversation. He was so humble the whole time. He told us that he has traveled almost 90% of India. And he was talking about the dishes in Karnataka! Goes to show you that the more you see the modest you become. The next morning we left for Tungnath. The morning was nice. The first rays of...

A Day in Bannerughatta

What comes to your mind when you hear 'Biological Park', or 'National Park'? And what comes to your mind when you hear the word 'Zoo'? On the face of it, they might appear as different things. And most of the time, they are. But in Bannerughatta they are the same. While traditionally, a biological park is something of a conserved forest with the motive to protect animals in its natural habitat, it's not the case in Bannerughatta. There is a Zoo and a small forest where animals roam in a very limited boundary. Basically, they are just bigger cages. And who decides where these animals roam and what they eat? Yep, humans. Can we call this space a biological reserve then? I hardly think so. The very reason of these biological parks and zoos is to make money through visitors, and not the conservation of animals. Don't let their motto deceive you. There are way too many animals in there which don't need protection and can survive easily in the wild. And ...
